Suboptimal adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) who use illicit drugs remains an ongoing health concern. Although health outcomes associated with adherence self-efficacy have been well-documented, there is dearth research exploring the predictors of this construct. This study sought to identify possible determinants of adherence self-efficacy among a cohort of PLWHA who use illicit drugs.
